Today we're covering those unwritten social rules

that I've learned the hard way so you don't need to.

And look, Spain is a pretty easygoing place,

there's a number of things that I've learned,

with your help Yoly, that are things that you just don't do.

They're what we would call social faux pas.

- And the things that if you keep in mind,

We're gonna go through the rules that I've learned.

Here in Spain we don't say thank you and please,

I felt like I was saying it all the time,

because in English we do say thank you and please a lot.

When we're in shops, when we're you know,

in our constant day-to-day interactions with people,

But here in Spain, I just had this weird feeling

you know, so you imply the thanks or the please

So, you know for example, at a bar you're going to say

- And was there a little rise in inflection there.

like a nice sort of inflection of the voice.

you know, meaning like a term of endearment.

So, instead of (speaks in foreign language)

Which kind of eases everything a little bit.

building into the language, and into the tone,

And that is really hard for a new Spanish speaker.

if I don't think I can get the tone right,

just to kinda make sure that I'm not being impolite.

I know that there's been times when I have not used them,

and you've said "Oh, you didn't quite get the tone right,

you know, so you want to really, yeah, make it clear,

then go ahead, say (speaks in foreign language).

This was really interesting when I first moved here,

and everybody has a piece of bread while they're eating.

- No it's more, I guess that bread is considered

so, you put it next to your knife and fork.

Also, if you put it on your plate, it might get soggy,

so you don't want to be then using your hands

to pick out the bread and soak the things,

- It's interesting, and I love how in the end,

the fact that we don't put bread on the plate
